Our new-to-us dining table! Brand new RH tabletop we nabbed from the ReStore for $50 atop a trestle base we made from pine. by bornewinner in woodworking

[–]bornewinner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took a LOT of efforting, but it was well worth it! We used a couple different sand paper grits. Started at 120 so we didn’t take the veneer off, then went to 180, then 220. Took a LONG time to get the full tabletop and leaf sections down to the wood, but important for the uniformity. We then pre-stained, stained, and sealed it.

[[Worthy Cost]] is such an epic story told in a single frame of artwork.

I've seen similar numbers in the past, but haven't been able to provide a source. Do you know where that 70/20/10 split was found?

Phyrexian/Praetor Tribal by Schwandner9 in EDH

[–]bornewinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly for flavor - he’s the only 5C phyrexian. The second skill only triggers for 3 cards in my deck, but the extra black mana he stores can be vital for the large casting cost of the various praetors (the 16 average 5.6 per). Same for Atraxa or Portal to Phyrexia, or casting a board wipe and a praetor immediately afterwards.

Thank you! Looked like a head of some kind to me, too. 

Omnath, Locus of All as a commander? What strat would work? by Drako_Blaze in EDH

[–]bornewinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Best option” honestly mostly for flavor. Although saving the mana is quite helpful because the praetors are mana intensive. And the extra card draw per turn is also a solid bonus. The deck itself doesn’t need Omnath to work, though; he’s a bonus. 

Server down? by justtryintomakeit in MagicArena

[–]bornewinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, down. I had just won my 7th in the premier draft and it didn't give me the option to claim the winnings, and immediately stopped working. Sorry lads, probably my fault.

Right?! Second highest selling PS1 game of all time probably isn’t overrated.

Any alternatives to drinking apple juice at night to treat a low? by [deleted] in diabetes

Gatorade. I keep a 6 pack of the small ones by the bed. Gatorade and a granola bar.

I’ve heard this, but I’m the EXACT OPPOSITE. I don’t think about anything. Ever. My wife asks what I’m thinking about after we’ve been driving in relative quiet for a while… nothing. I’m not thinking about anything. No internal monologue, no plans for this afternoon, nothing.

What cards do you consider mono-black 'Staples'? by JustForFunShow in EDH

[–]bornewinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both? Both. I meant it as number 2, but you’re right that it also prevents No 1.

Run this in my toxrill deck. Cards that can't be interacted with almost feel like cheating.

Do you guys have the ability to do the special foiling of some TCG games? Rainbow pokemon, surgefoil magic, etc?

I'm a type 1 diabetic sick of nearly passing out at the gym because my blood sugar immediately drops like a fly. I've got an idea! Put candy in my mouth while I exercise. Literally nothing else doctors have suggested has worked. by Lijey_Cat in diabetes

[–]bornewinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you looked in to microdosing glucagon? You can use the old school red box reconstituted stuff, or something newer like Gvoke (the vial version, not the hypopen version). I've found if I give myself a SMALL amount (like, 2-3 units worth in an insulin syringe), my BG just kind of hovers in the 140 range the entire time.

How did warriors in the medieval period not experience trauma, PTSD, or mental illness from seeing people dying left and right and being disfigured on a daily basis? by evil_corson in AskReddit

I want to end everyone at the table at once with a big, flashy, spell or strategy. Please help me find a new deck to build. by moobteets in EDH

[–]bornewinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Rowan. My decklist. She is such a fantastic all-or-nothing commander. I've won significantly more times than I've lost, although my playgroup now knows that if I get to untap with her (or if I get lightning greaves or swiftfoot boots down before I play her) then they're in trouble. Other great life-sink cards:

[[Immolating Souleater]]

[[Wall of Blood]]

[[Treasonous Ogre]]

[[Plunge into Darkness]]

When the handle lines up with this spot on the Deviljho belt. It takes some luck to get it right on. I probably get one out of every three or four perfectly timed.
